Luca Albrecht “Just colors, what else?”

LA stands for Luca Andrea Albrecht, born March 13, 1951, and raised in Zurich . His mother, a native of Locarno, and father, a native Zuricher, ensured him a peaceful and happy family life. After studying law at the University of Zurich, LA entered the world of finance, where he held senior positions for more than 30 years, crowning his career as a partner in a private bank.

His creative "eruptions" manifested at an early age in the form of poems. These were compositions of words, fantasies and nostalgia. Let's call them Mediterranean dreams. "Born Under the Sign of Pisces" and "On the Crest of the Wave" are two collections of poems published in the 1990s.

From words to colors and shapes. Increasingly strong was the desire to make these fantasies and distant horizons visible. Brushes, sponges, spatulas, acrylic paints, sand and rust begin to be unleashed on the canvases. And once again it is Mediterranean visions, Sea Horizons, grasses, mountains, Lake Maggiore and the endless play of colors. Depending on mood, desire and inspiration.

"Just colors, what else?" is the title of the exhibition currently running in the beautiful Palazzo Branca Baccalà in Brissago.

LA has lived with his wife Cornelia for more than 15 years in the idyllic village of Ascona. It is thanks to Cornelia's motivation and her network of relationships that this exhibition was able to see the light of day. Cornelia has also always been a source of inspiration to move forward and try new things.

A book, of course titled "Just colors, what else?" will also be released on the occasion of this art exhibition.
